How does student housing work at Messiah?
The College offers eight traditional residence halls and four apartment-style residences on campus; each well equipped, controlled by a security access system, and individually wired for personal network/Internet connections. Staffed by trained professional Residence Directors and student Residence Assistants, these facilities provide an environment which fosters personal growth and responsibility, as students practice living in Christian community. To enhance the experience and sense of community of first-year students, the College has dedicated three residence halls specifically for first-year students. For 2007-2008 these residences are Hess, Naugle, and Witmer Halls.
